Dargan and Suazo will square off at the Grand
Ballroom at Bally's Atlantic City on a show
broadcasted throughout the USA on Fox Sports. Also
on the card will be an NABA championship bout
between Teon Kennedy and Alejandro Lopez.
Hailing from Philadephia, Karl Dargan (9-0, 4 KOs)
is handled by Naazim Richardson who also trains
living legends Bernard Hopkins and Shane Mosley.
Dargan often spars with Mosley, and is considered
a great prospect for the future. Winning the UBO
title in only his tenth professional fight would
be a testament to his potential.
Dargan turned pro at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in
December 2007 after winning the U.S. Amateur
championships twice and capturing a gold medal at
the Pan Am Games. After seven additional wins he
returned to that famous venue this past May to
beat Randy Arrellin on the undercard of the Manny
Pacquiao - Shane Mosley mega-fight.
Now, three months later, the event is obviously
not as big as the Pacman – Sugar Shane card, but
this time Dargan is one of the headliners. His
opponent Juan Suazo realizes he is the underdog,
but the Tuczon, Arizona fighter is on a good run
and is coming off two of his careers best
performances. |
